Okay, so I really like my Trig teacher...he's pretty cool...I spent half the class time just writing down his random comments in the margin of my notebook...
Prof: 8 down, infinity to go..
Prof: I'm easily startled. After all, I do write on walls for a living. Well, that's not all I do. I also point at the walls I write on. (speaking of the white board)
Prof: This is the technical manuever known as "the ol' switcharoo"
Prof: "complicated" and "interesting" are just two words synonymous with each other.
Prof: "It turns out that"..."Those are the 4 dangerous words in Math...Big Green Monsters can hide behind those words."
Prof: In case you were wondering, that button on your calculator does NOT mean "iniquity" or "crime". SIN is merely an abbreviation for SINE, a trigonometric function. It's not a sin to hit the button.
yah, so there's some of my prof's famous sayings...they are, of course, much better in real life, but..
So, today...I went to a concert at EU to kick off the new school year. They start tomorrow morning...I'm not going to school there, but I have a really close friend who is...and so 5 of us went to the concert...I set a new record...I stayed for SEVEN WHOLE SECONDS into the first song before I got up and walked out...
1). it was really loud, and I can't stand loud noises being made for no particular reason.
2). It reminded me EXACTLY of a Led Zepplin concert..
3). The Lead Singer introduced the first song as a song he had written about his fiancee, call "your smile" -- I don't know, but personally, at a Christian college, I wouldn't be playing just secular songs on the night before school starts...just seems to set things off on the wrong foot for new students..
4). I live by these two mottos.
a). What Would Jesus Do?
b). Would I feel comfortable with the situation I'm involved in if Jesus was right next to me?
In answer to those questions...
a). I can just see Jesus being introduced as a "man of God, who loves to Rock!!"...yah, not. I'm not sure, but I just can't see Him standing on stage, encouraging all the people in the audience to press in as close as possible to the stage, while loud music is blasted in their ears, and then listen to Him sing about some girl's smile.
b). Personally, I can't sit through something like that. I'm not comfortable with watching what looks like to me to be a LZ concert, and not feel....convicted by it.
I understand that people have different point of views. One of my best friends walked out with me. My other 3 best friends stayed, and loved the concert. I don't have a grudge against them at all. They understand where I'm coming from, and I understand where they are coming from. Well, mostly, anyway. :p...

Hey Siah. I understand and I respect you for standing up for what you think. That happened to me once with a Christian band, though not an 'official' concert. I left because I couldn't stand it and didn't feel comfortable with it. Two others left with me, and we actually discovered that upstairs through two rooms from it, you could hear fine. So with Christian music in the background, we worshipped up there. But so many people don't stand up for their convictions and it's encouraging when you see others do it. Follow God brother.

Lol, seriously. Like Owen and I left the concert, and went outside into the halls..then left the building completely, and you could still hear it...yick.
